Comment 125 for bug 75295

yes, same problem here.Total system freeze associated with dvd-rom drive.Also hald-addon storage noted in top as a large user of resources.Hard restart needed.

And having problems with cd burner where the drive has to be revisited after initial recognition. It is found ok at boot up but cannot report discs correctly and begins "hunting" when k3b attempts to verify data on a disc.Application then 'locks' and has to be killed.

Ubuntu 7.10 on a P3 1000. Msi cdrw52. Sony DVD-Rom DDU220E

Another P3 machine with the same os is fine.The difference being that this one was upgraded from Feisty and labels partitions and drives as sda and scd whilst the misbehaving one list drives as hda and disks as hdc, hdd. Is this significant ?
